Chapter 20: I only want the throne, not favor (20)
"I want the throne." Chu Wanqing turned her head and whispered to Gao Yansheng, "Can you help me?"
Gao Yansheng's eyes widened. He didn't expect Chu Wanqing to have such a big appetite.
The target was actually the throne.
"Are you crazy?" Doesn't she know that a woman will be criticized if she sits on the throne?
"With the Chu family as our backing and you here, who else dares to say no?" Chu Wanqing spoke again.
"What good is it to me?"
Chu Wanqing loosened her grip and pulled off the black cloth covering Gao Yansheng's face. "Your child will be the next emperor. What else do you want?"
"I will raise an army of my own so that I can have more children."
Chu Wanqing sneered: "Unfortunately, you can't."
The god of war holding the tiger talisman, who is feared by the emperor, is a loyal and devoted minister.
Chu Wanqing was right, Gao Yansheng really couldn't do that.
He only felt guilty towards Chu Wanqing and would not help her to gain the throne just because of the child in her belly.
"Gao Yansheng, does my current situation have nothing to do with you?" Chu Wanqing asked.
In fact, it really has nothing to do with it. It is related to the fact that she has been hiding the fact that she did not get her period at the beginning.
If she had told Li Hong the truth earlier, perhaps she could have been deposed a few days later.
She did not regret not telling Li Hong at this moment.
Otherwise, how could they use this matter to kidnap Gao Yansheng today?
Gao Yansheng felt guilty when Chu Wanqing asked him about it. He recalled what had happened between them before. Chu Wanqing's lack of favor was indeed related to him.
"Except for the throne, I can help you with everything else, even taking the throne as queen again."
"Gao Yansheng, don't you understand why I do this?" Chu Wanqing asked, hooking the black cloth on his chin.
Gao Yansheng knew very well that Chu Wanqing said that on purpose.
At that time, the whole capital knew that she was clamoring to marry the Eighth Prince.
"I fell into the water, and you saved me, right?"
Chu Wanqing never doubted that the person who saved her was Li Hong.
But after calming down and thinking back on the details, she found that Gao Yansheng's occasional cold was too coincidental.
Even Li Hong himself revealed some details inadvertently, but did not say in person that it was he who saved her.
"Then do you know why I want to marry Li Hong?"
"I still say the same thing."
Gao Yansheng didn't want to waste words with Chu Wanqing anymore: "Think it over carefully."
After he took Chu Wanqing's hand away, he pushed open the window and disappeared into the night.
Only after he left did Chu Wanqing calm down and breathe heavily.
She wanted to know what those who sacrificed themselves for their own goals thought.
It was Chu Wanqing’s first time and she felt like she was suffocating.
Cheng Shuhan was in Chu Wanqing's belly and could feel her inner ups and downs.
She sat cross-legged in the darkness and discussed with 888: "You know, I've paved the way for her, and she's still so timid!"
[Her actions will be condemned by the world]
In the future, people will criticize them in the back.
"A real man can bend and stretch!" Cheng Shuhan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. From ancient times to the present, how many emperors killed their fathers and brothers, and they were never scolded?
She seduced a man and was scolded for the rest of her life?
This is much less severe than patricide.
[Influenced by the times, otherwise where did the chastity arch come from? ]
888 Sometimes I also feel that the times are not friendly, and it is normal for a wife to remarry after her husband dies.
It is not uncommon for the husband's family to bury the wife with him in order to establish a chastity arch.
"Oh, the education of the times is to be tolerant towards men and narrow-minded towards women?"
Just seduce!
Just do it!
We all have the same goal: you killed your father, and I will kill your husband. No one should blame anyone else!
What's wrong with being scolded?
As long as Chu Wanqing ascends the throne, would they dare to scold her in front of her? They would only hurt her if they scolded her behind her back.
Everyone's methods are dirty, so it doesn't matter who is high or low.
[Do you admit that you used dirty tricks when you first ascended the throne?]
"I think you might want to disappear into the vast universe with me."
【……】
888 doesn't dare to confront Cheng Shuhan head-on. This guy threatens Tong whenever they disagree with him!
Chu Wanqing sat on the bed, sorted out everything, and removed her psychological burden.
I am reminded of what Cheng Shuhan said: Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters.
She is so hesitant even to make contributions. Even if she becomes the emperor, she will probably be pulled down from the altar.
Chu Wanqing thought about the plot of "Wu Zhou Dynasty" in her mind again, and also thought about Chen Shuozhen's life.
No wonder her daughter wanted her to learn the art of being an emperor in her dreams.
As an emperor, all he needs to do is control the overall situation, prevent the situation from going astray, and benefit the people.
There is no need to consider harmless details like these.
The overall gains and losses remain unchanged, and small losses are not worth mentioning.
Chu Wanqing didn't sleep for almost the entire night, and was mentally preparing herself.
If a woman becomes an emperor, she will be scolded.
She is being scolded everywhere. Can she avoid being scolded by doing one less thing that would get her scolded?
cannot.
One more thing doesn’t make too much, one less thing doesn’t make too little.
As long as she benefits the people during her reign and is a wise ruler, the people will naturally speak in her favor.
After figuring it out, Chu Wanqing did things much more efficiently than before.
She asked Qinyin to get rid of those who should be eliminated, and she would not delay doing what should be done.
Cheng Shuhan is happy to see this kind of change.
How can you do things if you are timid?
Gao Yansheng originally thought that if he asked Chu Wanqing to consider it, she would give up the idea.
But as Li Hong's health declined, the concubines became restless, and Gao Min kept sending letters home, Gao Yansheng understood.
Chu Wanqing's determination may be stronger than before.
Li Hong's poor health made him anxious and he even became hesitant about Chu Wanqing.
The concubines were no longer given contraceptive soup, but there was no news of any good news.
Because he had only one child, Li Hong didn't dare to take action on Chu Wanqing's belly easily.
Especially Chu Wanqing likes sour food.
"Your Majesty, General Gao requests an audience."
"Let him in." Li Hong came back to his senses and asked someone to bring Gao Yansheng in.
Gao Yansheng, dressed in a black brocade robe, entered the imperial study and knelt on one knee before Li Hong: "Your Majesty, I greet you."
"Get up."
Li Hong covered his lips and coughed, indicating that he should take a seat.
When facing Gao Yansheng, Li Hong has always been self-prepared and is constantly reminded that the support of the Chu family was stolen from Gao Yansheng by him.
"I heard that Your Majesty has been in poor health recently. I have some friendship with the Divine Doctor Valley..."
"Are you serious?" Li Hong asked impatiently before Gao Yansheng finished speaking.
Gao Yansheng nodded and said, "The miracle doctor was traveling through the capital, and I took it upon myself to bring him into the palace. I hope the emperor will show some mercy and punish me, and allow the miracle doctor to examine your majesty."
"General Gao has good intentions, so I'll spare you the punishment this time."
Li Hong waved his hand hypocritically, indicating that he didn't mind.
Li Hong and Gao Yansheng went to the side hall and asked the miracle doctor to check Li Hong's body.
The news of Gao Yansheng inviting a miracle doctor spread to the harem. At this time, Chu Wanqing was drinking tea. When she heard this, her grip on the teacup tightened instantly: "Did you find out anything?"
